2020-02-11 S&O Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 1 - Noosa Community Health and Wellbeing Plan 2019-2024

Positive community health outcomes are reliant on partnerships between government agencies,
service providers, local organisations, non-government agencies and the community.

Councils have a key role in advocating and facilitating partnerships (internal and external) to
deliver and support key actions to promote health and wellbeing and minimise disease and health
risk burden. A whole of community approach to health and wellbeing is required to ensure all of
Council’s operations and its external partners work towards the same objectives.

This plan has identified a number of issues based on National and State health targets, the Noosa
Shire population profile, and in consultation with a health industry stakeholder group. These issues
and subsequent strategies can be broadly grouped into the social determinants mentioned in the
above graphic.
